Europe madness

The Mail and the Sun have a story that Brussels is going to divide Europe up into regions, including an Atlantic one stretching from NW Scotland down to Portugal, and a Channel one with Kent and Sussex and a part of Belgium.

Now, I am as eurosceptic as the next man, but this has just a whiff of the April Fool to me, and that not being the date (in fact it’s St George’s Day) I suspect this is a leak designed to embarrass fervent anti-Europeans by tempting them into apoplexy.

The W Midlands doesn’t seem to get into anyone’s region at all, lucky chaps
